One unfortunate consequence could be to have packages rely on it to make dependencies shorter, and make us pull cups or cronie.
What?! That is like saying one unfortunate consequence of pamcan hooks is that packages can have no files and just download and compile the source in a hook. It is a ridiculous consideration.
Your extreme example seems, indeed, a ridiculous use of hooks. I hadn't realized that adding posix as a dependency on a package will be as extreme and ridiculous as the example that you have just gave. My mistake. Regards, Sébastien "Seblu" Luttringer
